Do you remember the Nintendo soda? It came in these small cans, my sister and I went crazy over them. I recently stumbled on your site so I’m not sure if you’ve written on this before but have you looked into the Japanese and cultural influences in the Legend of Zelda Series? It’s worth taking a look if you haven’t already.

The cereal wasn’t very good actually. Think of a generic American cereal with some marshmallows, and that was Nintendo Cereal. It was blatant product pushing, with just enough effort thrown in to make the cereal editable. No criticism to the hardworking people who made it, as I did enjoy it as a kid and relish in the nostalgia, but if it sold again, I wouldn’t let my daughter eat it anymore than I would any other “kids cereal”.

Me, on the other hand, I might help myself to just one box…

The Tanuki suit was certainly an interesting one. I never took the time to look very close at it to see what kind of statue it was, but nice to know finally. I always wanted to fight as the statue, figured it was more powerful than a raccoon.
